Copying

The university’s many libraries have copy machines available for students which you have to pay using your Campuscard. Information on the copy service can be found on the website of the University Library.

Off-campus access to the university network

This gives you the advantage of having access to online library resources no matter where you might be working. To use the university network off-campus, you either need a VPN client or access to the HTTP proxy server.
